Windows update - is it just slow or stuck?

    I downloaded the standard updates last night, as I hadn't done it in a while.

    I ended up with 72 updates to do!

    Number 1 took about 10mins but got thru it ok, now it has been on Number 64 for over an hour. Can they take this long or has my laptop locked up? The little hourglass is turning so it ain't froze.

    Afraid to switch it off as it warns not to.

    Any advice?

    Leave it running i updated one the other day took nearly 24hrs, leave it plugged in and walk away, have a look at it again tonight or tomorrow, it sometimes can take ages.

    24hr!

    What's it doing that it can take that long?
